M-learning in the field Production Direction through flipped classroom with virtual collaborative environments and its evaluation with rubrics

Abstract

This study is part of a teacher change and improve­ment project whose aim is to modify the traditional teaching system in the field of Production Manage­ment (Operations Management), focusing its learn­ing on the acquisition of the competences required by the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), in such a way that the student participates actively and is involved in the solution of the problems of real companies raised in the classroom in a virtual collaborative environment, supported in social net­works through the use of different mobile devices (m-learning).

Innovative methodologies such as flipped class­room, where we propose that the student begins to play an active role through problem-based colla­borative learning (PBCL), whose purpose will be to train students capable of analyzing and facing pro­blems in the same way as they would during their professional activity. However, for this methodo­logical change to be successful, it will have to be accompanied by well-designed rubrics that allow the correct evaluation of group work and participa­tion in the classroom. In this way, the students will know the competences achieved and those that need strengthening.
